Politicians make the laws, if people are being oppressed, its more of the politicians being the root cause of evil.

So… ACAB + APAB?

EDIT:

I’m using these definitions for the word politician: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/politician

noun. [UK] - a member of a government or law-making organization

noun. [US] - a person who is active in politics, esp. as a job

    At least here in the US, every election, 99% of voters choose Democrat or Republican and just ignore the last 40 years of these politicians chipping away at our economic and social liberty, and the people who do that have to convince themselves somehow that they made a good choice.

    Most justify it by gaslighting themselves into believing their guy isn’t as bad as the other guy, but it just never crosses their minds that APAB because they don’t want to think they’re the bastards for empowering these people.
